Maserati has extended some much-needed love to the Quattroporte for 2017.

The most significant tweaks to the Italian luxury sedan are outside – most notably to the sheet metal, having been reshaped for a more aggressive look depending on the trim level. Speaking of which, there are two: GranSport, which fits the aggressive bill with unique bumpers, wheels and carbon fibre exterior accents; and GranLusso, emphasizing posh interior trimmings above all else.

Regardless of the trim level, all Quattroporte sedans gain a nip and tuck to the front grille, which will now include active shutters for better aerodynamics. The 2017 Quattroporte also gains restyled side mirrors and matte black trim on the side skirts.

Of course, the changes aren’t just skin deep. The Quattroporte’s tweaks continue inside with a larger, 8.4-inch display for its infotainment system, as well as reworked switchgear and buttons on the centre console.

As far as technology is concerned, the Quattroporte now features today’s requisite suite of driving assists, such as adaptive cruise control, forward collision warning and automatic braking, among other features. A 360-degree backup camera is available, while the infotainment system itself is now capable of Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity.
